01:16.440 Hello, heck of a popular radio, Brian O'Hio here, I'm still out from under my rock 01:16.440 --> 01:25.560 working on the long wheelbase, recumbed bike, that 80 Carson on his website, recycled recumbits 01:25.560 --> 01:31.600 that it gives plans for and tips and how to make it. 01:31.600 --> 01:37.800 In the first episode, I talked about getting the parts and the ideas behind why I would do 01:37.800 --> 01:41.560 this and where I've gotten information from. 01:41.560 --> 01:46.200 What I did for it was I forgot to put some pictures in, so in this, the show notes 01:46.200 --> 01:52.400 here you'll see some of the pictures I want to include with episode 1, which includes 01:52.400 --> 01:57.040 a picture of one of the donor bikes, the better of the two, I didn't get a picture of the 01:57.040 --> 01:59.440 large frame bike. 01:59.440 --> 02:04.280 I got some pictures of what I call the draws, the leftover stuff after stripping the 02:04.280 --> 02:12.920 bikes and then of course the gold, the bare frames that are ready to be cut up, which 02:12.920 --> 02:15.880 is starting the process of building the recumbit. 02:15.880 --> 02:22.360 I recorded some audio of me cutting up some of the pieces and I hope you enjoy that. 02:22.360 --> 02:29.600 Especially those of you who listen at 1.5 speed on what cutting up metal sounds like 02:29.600 --> 02:31.600 at that speed. 02:31.600 --> 02:34.560 Well, there's no reason not to start. 02:34.560 --> 02:46.440 I've got the large frame, the bike number two on my workmate, which is a stand with a locking 02:46.440 --> 02:50.840 wooden jaw that'll hold things and a hacksaw. 02:50.840 --> 02:58.000 Now I'm actually doing the cuts for like a, I don't think it really is an order. 02:58.000 --> 03:02.960 I'm doing what I'm doing is I'm doing the bike number two cut out first just to practice 03:02.960 --> 03:09.040 doing some hacksawing and because the cuts here aren't as critical as on the other bike, 03:09.040 --> 03:13.560 which is where you're going to salvage the headset and that. 03:13.560 --> 03:20.040 It says to start by taking off the rear triangle starting at the top and so that's where 03:20.040 --> 03:21.040 I'm starting. 04:20.040 --> 04:23.040 The tighten up the workmate, they're a little bit. 04:50.040 --> 05:13.440 All right, through the first part, I'm going to take a picture here and see where I was 05:13.440 --> 05:21.400 cutting and I won't, I won't record anymore of these cuts, no sense in it. 05:21.400 --> 05:25.360 You guys hearing me something like I'm breaking out of a jail or something. 05:25.360 --> 05:30.320 So once I'm done, I'll summarize how I went. 05:30.320 --> 05:39.080 Well, I took about how 35 minutes or so and actually the hardest cuts were the, the very 05:39.080 --> 05:43.560 first ones that were, we were cutting through the, the welding that company had done when 05:43.560 --> 05:48.000 they first put the bike together, the cut to the, cut to the pipe were actually pretty 05:48.000 --> 05:49.000 easy. 05:49.000 --> 05:54.680 The hardest part was just finding how to position the frame so you get your hacksaw in 05:54.680 --> 05:59.840 there pretty easily, but yeah, so bike number one is cut up. 05:59.840 --> 06:03.520 There's some pieces, I've got some pictures in the show notes. 06:03.520 --> 06:07.760 The part that you are going to be using that you used to make the bike and the parts that 06:07.760 --> 06:12.800 are left over including the, the extra rear triangle that allows you to practice the, 06:12.800 --> 06:19.160 the first of the bending that is required to, to make the, to make the bike frame. 06:19.160 --> 06:26.640 So that's it for the cutting operation on frame number two. 06:26.640 --> 06:37.560 All right, frame number one has, a number of cuts that are, like I said, more, more 06:37.560 --> 06:43.560 exacting because you're, you're, this is the main headset and some of the other, and 06:43.560 --> 06:48.520 the, where the crank is, the bottom bracket is all going to come out of this bike. 06:48.520 --> 06:57.240 And so there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven cuts in this with some dimensions 06:57.240 --> 07:01.320 you can see on page one of the plans. 07:01.320 --> 07:06.320 I won't, I won't grab any of the cutting stuff, I'll just summarize when I'm done here. 07:06.320 --> 07:15.320 Okay, that, uh, wraps up the cutting. 07:15.320 --> 07:20.000 Well, that was the, uh, end of that, uh, the cuts went fine. 07:20.000 --> 07:25.600 Again, the hardest part was cutting through those original, uh, braised on pieces from the 07:25.600 --> 07:27.640 factory, but everything else went pretty smoothly. 07:27.640 --> 07:33.400 Just, if you're going to do this take your time, measure twice and cut once I guess is the, 07:33.400 --> 07:39.320 um, wisdom behind that and, um, realize that, um, even if you do mess up, I think there's 07:39.320 --> 07:45.120 ways to recover, or you probably could find another bike to start over again. 07:45.120 --> 07:51.760 Uh, I threw in some pictures there, uh, showing the first cuts, uh, cutting through the 07:51.760 --> 07:58.120 top of the triangle, which is that difficult cut, and also cutting through the tubes. 07:58.120 --> 08:05.120 I have a picture of the workmate, uh, that I use, there's just the holding device, very, 08:05.120 --> 08:11.560 very handy, uh, tool, and then I've got, uh, a couple of pictures, uh, what's left over 08:11.560 --> 08:15.200 the parts that are going to be used from, uh, frame number two, which is the big, big 08:15.200 --> 08:24.440 frame, and, uh, on a picture of the, uh, parts from frame number one, which will, uh, really, 08:24.440 --> 08:28.960 are the first parts that you start to assemble, and that'll be in the next show. 08:28.960 --> 08:30.960 Thanks for listening. 08:30.960 --> 08:36.960 Um, if you have any comments, questions, uh, go ahead and email me or leave a comment,
